1. 1
   Measure 2 cups (250 ml) of ragi flour into a mixing bowl, add 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp oil.
   ▶ ≈0:31
2. 2
   Gradually add boiling hot water in small amounts while mixing. Use a spatula to stir and avoid adding too much water at once. Mix until the dough reaches a crumbly texture.
   ▶ ≈0:47
3. 3
   Once cool enough to handle, continue kneading with your hands. If the dough becomes too sticky, add a bit more flour to achieve the right consistency that doesn't stick to your fingers.
   ▶ ≈1:01
4. 4
   Add the finely chopped onion, green chilies, curry leaves, ginger, and coriander leaves to the dough. Mix everything thoroughly until evenly distributed.
   ▶ ≈1:31
5. 5
   Divide the dough into equal-sized portions and roll into balls. Oil your palms and gently press each ball onto an oiled banana leaf (or parchment/foil paper), using your finger pressure to flatten it into a round shape with even thickness.
   ▶ ≈2:01
6. 6
   Heat a griddle (tawa) on medium flame and lightly oil the center where the roti will be placed. Carefully lift the roti from the leaf and place it on the hot griddle.
   ▶ ≈2:58
7. 7
   Drizzle a bit of oil on top of the roti. Cook on medium flame for about one minute on each side until both sides are cooked through.
   ▶ ≈3:17
8. 8
   Remove the cooked roti from the griddle and serve hot. Enjoy it with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, yogurt, pickle, curry, or any other side dish of your choice.
